The Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site invites visitors to three programs this May. Join us on Saturday, May 11 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. to learn how to play "42," the State Domino Game of Texas. The inventors of "42," W.A. Thomas and Walter Earle, moved to Fannin County after they invented the game. W.A. Thomas eventually married Katherine Rayburn and became the brother-in-law of Sam Rayburn, and we’re honoring this domino connection every other month this year. This event is free for visitors to attend.

"It has been exciting to watch PEPPA PIG Theme Park being built in North Richland Hills," said North Richland Hills Mayor Oscar Trevino. "I know many families are looking forward to visiting and building their first theme park memories together. This world-class theme park will provide year-round fun for little ones and is a great addition to the many family-friendly amenities already in our community, including NRH2O Family Water Park which is right next door. Furthermore, the opening of the park will contribute to our already strong economy, bringing more employment opportunities to young adults and other residents who are looking for jobs in this area."

1904 – birth of Salvador Dalí, Spanish artist. Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquess of Dalí of Púbol (11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989), known as Salvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Dalí lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his "nuclear mysticism" style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and recent scientific developments. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork.
